Well, as far as I remember:
For nearly 60 years,I´ve been a cockey I married a fine girl, when I was twenty My wife died when giving birth, when she was thirty No flying doctor then, just a gentle old black gent But It´s nearly over now, and now I´m easy She left me with two sons and with a daughter And a bone dry farm, which soil cries out for water me daughter married young and went her own way me sons lie buried near the Burma Railway But it´s nearly over now, and now I´m easy
Oh, what have I done? I´m ready to submit only fragments of a song. I thought, I would have more of that song in my mind. To my excuse: It´s some time ago, that I´ve heard it. But the fact that I remembered at least a little bit showes, that the song is worth it. Bye the way: The Dubliners sang it on their 25th years celebration album. There´s also a songbook containing the songs of that record. Sorry for my insufficient memory, Harald ^^^
